Anauta Blackmore (c. 1890–1965), also known as Lizzie Ford Blackmore, was an Arctic author, memoirist and lecturer. She is best known for her 1940 autobiography, Land of the Good Shadows, which may be the first book-length autobiography of an Inuk. Blackmore claimed to have Inuit ancestry, although it's unclear if this was true.
